What is your apprenticeship about
It is often said that apprenticeship years are not master years. However, we think that an apprenticeship should not only be educational, but also be fun. For this reason trainings at GLS are certainly not boring because after all, we want our apprentices to look back with joy on this time of their lives.
What your future may look like
The apprenticeship is the basis for your career. A career as a manager at GLS for example. Many of our colleagues have taken this path and are now in positions of responsibility. Your professional life could be like theirs if you stay motivated and think outside the box every now and then.
